Yup, it’s stuck.
Although some people claim success with very gently rubbing the stuck pixel for the most part they stay stuck.
Each manufacturer has a quality control limit of the maximum number of allowable stuck pixels. As long as it is under than number the warranty will not cover replacement.
It is a stuck pixel. You can try to fix it like this.
1. Turn off your monitor.
2. Get yourself a damp cloth, so that you don’t scratch your screen.
3. Apply pressure to the area where the stuck pixel is. Do not put pressure anywhere else, as this may make more stuck pixels.
4. While applying pressure, turn on the screen.
5. Remove pressure and the stuck pixel could be repaired.
6. Repeat if unsuccessful.
